In today's highly competitive world, success begins with a strong educational foundation — but academic rigor is paired with rising financial burdens for many families. TAITA-SV recognizes that there are many young individuals with the potential to make significant contributions to society who lack the financial means to pursue higher education. The 2026 TAITA College Student Leadership Scholarship is awarded to up to six deserving recipients, with priority given to students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.

WHO CAN APPLY ELIGIBILITY

Incumbent undergraduate college students, or students applying to seminary. Applicants must be U.S. or Taiwan citizens, permanent residents, or on a student visa. Priority is given to students demonstrating a desire to continue their education and those in financially disadvantaged situations.
